Yesterday was my birthday, but I went to work anyways. I took today off because I wasn’t feeling great and it gave me a good excuse to go pick up Gears of Wars for the PC. I just went through a good portion of the single player mission and also tried my hand at some online play. I was getting owned at first, but I finally got the hang of it. It runs fairly well on my machine at 1610×1080 with everything turned off or to the lowest setting, but it wouldnt hurt to have an extra 5 or 10 frames per second just to smooth some of the choppier sections like fighting in a downpour. Its definitely playable and looks great, but its not running optimally thats for sure. So far, I am very happy with the purchase (yeah, I paid for it) and can’t wait to do a review of it.

According to FedEx, the NVousPC laptop is almost her, so you can expect a review for it popping up in the coming week or two.

Also, I think I need a better PC to test games as it can barely run Crysis on all the lowest settings. If things go well, I can get a rig together with a Dual Core CPU, 2GB of memory, and an nVidia 8800 or ATI 2900XT. Any sponsored (read: provided) components will get featured in every game and software review, so any assistance in piecing the system together would be a great help.

By the way, the cake is not a lie… and it was chocolate!
